Everything about brakes for scooters
- at SIP Scootershop
Get the Grip! Stopie, spot braking or burnouts: for this you need not only engine power and skill, but also sensible brakes. The daily driver will place more emphasis on better dosing, good response, low fading and discreet hand force to achieve maximum safety and riding comfort in daily street combat. Brake pads, brake discs, brake shoes, brake master cylinders and other products are an often forgotten topic when it comes to tuning or servicing. The more powerful the engine and also the older the brake systems, the more important it is to optimise pads and washers. We have everything to do with brakes from the manufacturers RMS, GALFER, MALOSSI, PIAGGIO and SPIEGLER, among others, which differ in price as well as in their range of use.
How do I find the right parts for my scooter's brakes?
You are in the general area for brakes and scooters with many different products. Under "Select vehicle type" you can select the exact model for which you are looking for brakes, for example "Scooter 50 4T AC". You can refine your selection with the help of the category. So if you are looking for a brake hose for your scooter, select "Brake hoses & replacement parts" and let us show you exactly the items that are suitable for you. Using the filters in the left navigation, you can sort by "brand", "use" and other criteria. If you select the vehicle type filter, e.g. "Scooter 50 4T AC", the entire range for the vehicle will be displayed the entire range for the vehicle category Scooter is displayed. This is always helpful if you are not sure of the vehicle type of the scooter you are travelling with.
The different models of scooters
Scooter 50-80 2T AC
All automatic scooters with 50-80 cc and an air-cooled two-stroke engine.
Scooter 50 2T LC
50 cc two-stroke engines with water cooling are a little more technical, but offer better performance than the AC engines.
Scooter 50 4T AC
50 cc automatic scooters with 4-stroke engines are more economical in fuel consumption and extremely easy to maintain.
Scooter 50 4T LC
50 cc four-stroke scooters with water cooling are rather rare to find.
E-scooter: 45 km/h engine
E-scooters are becoming more and more popular and many believe that these emission-free runabouts are the vehicles of the future.
E-scooters: 90 km/h e-engine
These somewhat more powerful models are on the rise and already dominate the streets in some Asian countries.
The range of brakes for scooters at SIP Scootershop
Brake pads & brake shoes
We distinguish between brake pads for disc brakes and brake shoes for drum brakes. To make it easier to distinguish, we have divided the brake pads into types, such as S10, S11, based on their dimensions. Brake shoes are installed on the cheaper scooters or on the rear wheel.
Brake hoses & replacement parts
The original brake hoses are usually only made of rubber. The steel braided brake hoses are high-tech and the ones from SPIEGLER even have TÜV approval. The scooter can be customised with different colours for the lines and connections.
Brake discs & adaptors
Along with brake pads and brake shoes, brake discs are the wear parts par excellence. They come in many diameters, hole patterns and shapes. The more holes, recesses or corrugated shape, the better the cooling. Floating bearings ensure even better braking performance. Oversize brake discs also have a super braking effect and are usually supplied with a matching adaptor. Many brake discs are also available with homologation.
Brake callipers & seating
Everything your heart desires: whether original brake calipers, CNC-manufactured radial brakes or mighty BREMBO pliers - you'll find it all here.
Brake master cylinder & adaptor
Braking performance also depends on the respective brake master cylinder. If it is not really compatible with the brake calliper and line, the biggest brake calliper will be of no use. We have brake master cylinders for every application.

Customers ask - SIP answers
"How important is the front brake?"
With a good front wheel brake, you can really make up seconds on the circuit, because if you brake later, you are faster for longer and make up metres on corner entry.
But also on the road, a good front brake is not only a plus in safety for the sporty scooter rider, but also a fun factor when you can show off your beautiful carbon scooter rear from below to those behind you on the last few metres before the traffic lights ...
Since the front wheel is loaded with the entire vehicle weight during heavy braking, the front wheel can transmit the most braking force. Therefore, it makes the most sense to improve the braking power of the front wheel brake in particular.
